11 Light and Fresh Meatless Dinners for Lent

Lent season is in full swing, lasting until April 13. During this time, observers abstain from eating meat on Fridays. We gathered some of our favorite vegetarian meals, along with a few fish main dishes, for families who eat seafood as well. Even if you’re not observing Lent, we think you’ll love these fresh spring recipes, which work well on any busy weeknight.

Pasta is a go-to dish at Lent, but potato gnocchi are just as delicious and versatile. Try this version, topped with fresh tomatoes and asparagus. If you don’t have time to make gnocchi from scratch, pick up a package of refrigerated gnocchi at the supermarket.
